Plain-English translation of NCT06374277 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After you leave the hospital, taking your medications exactly as prescribed is critical—but many people struggle because of cost, transportation, or confusion about which medications to take. This study is testing whether a pharmacy-led program called Med AAAction can help. The program gives you free medications, delivers them to your home, and assigns a pharmacy team member to help you understand and manage your medications for one full year.
People with low incomes and multiple chronic diseases often skip or stop taking their medications after leaving the hospital because they can't afford them, can't get to the pharmacy, or don't understand how to take them. This leads to more hospital readmissions, higher costs, and worse health outcomes. This trial tests whether addressing these barriers directly—through free medications and personal support—actually improves medication adherence and keeps people healthier.

If you join this study, you would either receive the new pharmacy program (Med AAAction) or usual hospital discharge care. The pharmacy program provides completely free medications, delivers them to your bedside before you leave the hospital and to your home afterward, and assigns a pharmacist or health coach to help you understand your medications and coordinate follow-up appointments for one year. You would complete surveys at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months (you receive payments of $15–$25 for each visit) to help researchers track how well the program works.
